Warning: Politicians – We Will Not Allow You To Disarm Us

Warning: Politicians – We Will Not Allow You To Disarm Us

It
is time to speak plainly for the good citizens and patriots of this
nation who believe unbendingly in the Constitution of the United States
of America. Though foreign governments may disarm their subjects, we
will not go down that road. We will not disarm and see our freedoms
stripped away. The lessons of history are numerous, clear, and bloody. A
disarmed population inevitably becomes an enslaved population. A
disarmed population is without power, reduced to childlike obedience
to-and dependence upon – the organs of a parental state.
A disarmed population will lose-either piecemeal or in one sweeping
act – those basic rights for which the citizens of America gave their
lives, fortunes, and sacred honor over 200 years ago.

We will not disarm. The right to self-protection, the internal
directive of every living creature, be it mouse or man, is the most
fundamental right of all. It is a right that must be exercised against
the predators of the streets, against the predators hidden within
agencies of law enforcement, and against the most dangerous predators of
all – those to be found in government, whose insidious grasping for
power is relentless and never-ending.
We will not disarm. Not in the face of robbers, rapists, and
murderers who prey upon our families and friends; nor in the face of
police and bureau agents who would turn a blind eye to the Constitution,
who would betray the birthright of their countrymen; nor in the face of
politicians of the lowest order-those who pander to the ignorant, the
weak, the fearful, the naive; those indebted to a virulent strain of the
rich who insulate themselves from the dangers imposed upon other
Americans and then preach disarmament.

We will not surrender our handguns.

We will not surrender our hunting arms.

And we will not surrender our firearms of military pattern or
military utility, nor their proper furnishings, nor the right to buy, to
sell, or to manufacture such items.

Firearms of military utility, which serve well and nobly in times of
social disturbance as tools of defense for the law-abiding, serve also
in the quiet role of prevention, against both the criminal and the
tyrannical. An armed citizenry, the well-regulated militia of the Second
Amendment, properly armed with military firearms – is a powerful
deterrent, on both conscious and subconscious levels, to those inclined
toward governmental usurpation.
An armed citizenry stands as a constant reminder to those in power
that, though they may violate our rights temporarily, they will not do
so endlessly and without consequence.
Should Americans again be confronted with the necessity of, may God
forbid it, throwing off the chains of a tyrannical and suffocating
regime, firearms designed to answer the particular demands of warfare
will provide the swiftest and most decisive means to this end. Any law
which prohibits or limits a citizen’s possession of firearms of military
utility or their proper furnishings, provides an open window through
which a corrupt government will crawl to steal away the remainder of our
firearms and our liberties.
Any law which prohibits or limits a citizen’s possession of firearms
of military utility or their proper furnishings, being directly contrary
to the letter and spirit of the Second Amendment, is inimical to the
Constitution, to the United States of America, and to its citizens.
Now-today-we are witnessing the perilous times foreseen by the
architects of the Constitution. These are times when our government is
demanding – in the guise of measures for the common good – the
relinquishment of several rights guaranteed to Americans in the
Constitution, foremost among which is the right to keep and bear arms
for our own defense.
These are times when our government has abdicated its primary
responsibility-to provide for the security of its citizens. Swift and
sure punishment of outlaws is absent, and in its place is offered the
false remedy of disarming the law-abiding. Where this unconstitutional
action has been given the force of law, it has failed to provide relief
and has produced greater social discord. This discord in turn now serves
as the false basis for the demand that we give up other rights, and for
the demand for more police, more agents of bureaucratic control to
enforce the revocation of these rights. Legislators, justices and law
officers must bear in mind that the foundation of their duties is to
uphold the fundamental law of the land-the Constitution.
They must bear in mind that the unconstitutional act of disarming
one’s fellow citizens will also disarm one’s parents, spouse, brothers,
sisters, children and children’s children. They must bear in mind that
there are good citizens who, taking heed of George Washington’s belief
that arms are the liberty teeth of the people, will not passively allow
these teeth to be torn out.
There are good citizens who, taking heed of Benjamin Franklin’s
admonition that those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a
little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety, will
surrender not one of their rights. Those who eat away at our right to
own and use firearms are feeding on the roots of a plant over two
centuries old, a plant whose blossom is the most free, most powerful
nation ever to exist on the face of this planet. The right to keep and
bear arms is the tap root of this plant. All other rights were won at
the point of a gun and will endure only at the point of a gun. Could
they speak, millions upon millions of this world’s dead souls would
testify to this truth. Millions upon millions of the living can so
testify today. Today is a critical moment in our history.Will
we Americans passively lie down before a government that has grown
disdainful of its best citizens? Or will we again declare, “We are the
government, government functions at our behest, and it may not rescind
our sacred rights?”
Will we place our faith in public servants who behave like our
masters? Or will we place our faith in the God and Father of the Lord
Jesus Christ and remember the words and deeds of the daring, far-seeing
men and women whose blood, sweat and tears brought forth this great
nation?
Will we believe those who assure us that the police officer will
shield us from the criminal? Or will we believe our eyes and ears,
presented every day with news of our unarmed neighbors falling prey in
their homes, on our streets, in our places of work and play?
Will we bow our heads to cowards and fools who will not learn and do
not understand the lessons of human history? Or will we stand straight
and assume the daily tasks and risks that liberty entails?
Will we ignore even the lessons of this present era-which has seen
the cruel oppression of millions on the continents of Europe, Asia,
Africa and South America-and believe that the continent of North America
is immune to such political disease? Or will we wisely accept the
realities of this world, wisely listen to and make use of the
precautions provided by our ancestors?
Will we be deceived by shameless liars who say that disarmament
equals safety, helplessness equals strength, patriotism equals
criminality? Or will we mark the words of our forefathers, who wrote in
plain language: The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not
be infringed?Let us make known: We will choose the latter option in every case.
Legislators: Do your duty to your country. Uphold the Constitution as
you swore to do. Do not shame yourselves by knocking loose the mighty
keystone of this great republic – the right to bear arms.
Justices: Do your duty to your country. Examine the origins of our
right to weaponry and uphold the letter and spirit of the Constitution.
Lawmen: Do your duty to your country. Do not be misguided and
misused. Your task is to serve and to protect-not to oppress, to disarm
and to make helpless your countrymen. To the blind, the ignorant, the
apathetic, the safe and sheltered, these may seem to be concerns of
another age. They are not. They are as vital as they ever have been
through history. For times may change but human nature does not. And it
is to protect forever against the evil in human nature that the Founding
Fathers set aside certain rights as inviolable.
For these reasons we must now make known: We will not passively take
the path that leads to tyranny. We will not go down that road. We Will
Not Disarm.
